Wilshere scores

deserved lead

To the game if it goes ahead, sneaky bet that Shola starts

Sneaky bet? It's nailed on

This is on the Sports Direct sports news page.

 

So too is us going after De Jong.

The what?

A natural left back would be great for squad depth, would allow us to rest Santon from time to time

 

No doubt about that.

Still, I hope we're not wasting too much time for this and we're actively working on the cb/striker issue.

Absolutely, a striker and CB are a must. If we don't get both then this window is a failure regardless of how many players for other positions we sign

While i'm all in for getting bodies in this doesn't make sense to me. we should really be going for a striker and a CB.

I know our management are a bit dense BUT surely it's possible to pursue a few players at a time

A natural left back would be great for squad depth, would allow us to rest Santon from time to time

Inman scores again.

4 goals in 8 games

I'm off to print a journalism degree and become a sports writer.

How are your window licking skills?

Can't see Krul leaving, is only going to get better (and worth more) plus he seems happy here

Info @beinsport : #Newcastle oublie #Remy en faisant le forcing sur #Aubameyang et se place pour Yanga #Mbiwa

 

If we got Aubameyang & Mbiwa and kept Coloccini I would be ecstatic.

ecstatic is an understatement

Would be great if league position was scored as the sum total of the clubs success.

 

Im dreaming I know, but, something like:

 

Points for winning games

Points for support in stadium

Points for starting U21 players in games

Points for English players in games

Points for financial fair play

etc

No fan of Ashley BUT can't blame him over this, the time to have a go at him is if we don't sign at the very least 2 players (striker and CB)

It's going to be annoying reading/listening to the media lick Harry's arse and make it sound like he used his "charm" to get him to sign

They are offering daft money to players and it will come back to bite the club on its arse, though Harry won't give a s*** as he will be long gone by then

Robert Green is on around £60k p/w that tells you all you need to know about QPR.

Surely not?

If that is true then its horrendous

So Shola up front with Cisse on the wings eh

Okay, time to move on

Plenty more fish in the sea  :'( :'(

I can see why he would go there

Loads more money and no doubt he will have a relegation clause inserted. So in 6 months he could have his pick of clubs again

I just hope the £8.5m isn't spent on Aubyermang or whoever that non-scoring African is.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Probably won't end up getting spent at all before mysteriously disappearing before the next window.

Aye, kinda like the £12mill De Jong money didn't get spent

It could be that even Mike Ashley isn't willing to gamble with the massive TV bonanza for next season. I mean, he has to get some credit for tying up Debuchy and Remy.

Credit for making a couple of signings he should have made 6 months ago? Nah, don't think so

                      Krul

Debuchy Taylor Coloccini Santon

            Anita    Cabaye

                Marveaux

      Remy              Obertan

                  Cisse

Wow

Actually that is a blatant pen, good decision

What?

People on twitter saying we have had a £10m bid accepted according to the Daily Mirror, well no links to the Daily Mirror have been provided, and I've checked their twitter account and their website and there is no sign of it.

 

With the way we play, spending £10m on a forward player is like pouring perfume on a pig.

 

Really hoping this the start of some changes in Pardew too.

I think remy will change our shape and change our way of attack if he joins. I don't think he will be upfront unless Cisse is rule out of a game but will play in forward three with Ben Arfa and Marveux.

 

 

Something like this:

 

                Cisse

Ben Arfa  Marveux  Remy

          Cabaye  Tiote

 

All the 3 players behind Cisse would be interchangeable, Remy would also be able to drop into Cisse's location if and when needed.

 

Where will Jonas play?

Thats the whole point, I'd drop him. He doesn't offer any sort of final ball, he's good for running with the ball out of defence but for creativity he is shocking.

I agree BUT we all know Pardew won't drop him

Remy aside I think any of our in comings will be defenders, unless the M'Vila and Sissoko stories have some truth in them.

 

I must admit that if we got Remy in then out of M'Vila and Sissoko I'd rather have M'Vila, Tiote is surely a matter of time away from being sold and M'Vila would be a direct replacement, where as Sissoko would be competing with Ben Arfa, Marvuex, Remy, Jonas, Obertan, and Sammy for a place out of 3 positions.

 

I kind of feel sorry for Anita, because he's starting to look a decent buy now, but not in central midfield, I think it's too much for him but he seems more suited to the RB where we have just bough Debuchy.

How would Sissoko be competing with them? Completely different type of player to them

I personally would want Sissoko over M'Vila because he can grab the team and drive it forward (Yaya) and we certainly could do with that
